Ibuprofen Linked to Stroke and Heart Attack


This information is nothing new, just a reminder that you are rolling the heart attack/stroke dice every time you take Ibuprofen or give it to someone.

Participants, whose average age was 39, who used ibuprofen had a 29% greater risk of fatal or nonfatal stroke, compared to those who took no NSAID. usatoday.com

But it also linked ibuprofen -- brand names include Advil and Motrin -- to a 24% higher risk of heart attack compared with people who had not taken any anti-inflammatory in the last three years. webmd.com
